Another evening on your own
You wander round your perfect home
You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year
You wonder how it came to this
Had your aim but it seems you missed
All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
Is so loud
You thought that he could save your life
If only you would be his wife
You thought the perfect wedding day would make this awful headache go away
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
Stop spilling red wine on the carpets
You know the stains won't come off anymore
Come on surprise us, no compromises this time
Ask more of life, ask more...
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
And in your life
Ask more of life
Ask more in life
Ask more...
Ask yourself how much you care
About dining chairs and Baudelaire
Nor craftmanship or poetry can keep a young girl happy forever
I've never seen you this restless before
So displeased
Not the least bit ingrained where you are
I see you fade as your goals wear you out
You add up
You sum up
What's attained so far
Every minute is precious to you
Fall behind
Back in line
Wasting your time
I say the end doesn't justify a thing
'cause right now
What about now
Couldn't I clear out your mind
Let me be your waste of time
I can be anything you need
Your demanding I will meet
If you want it
I bet you'll be begging me for more
'cause what I give you can't ignore
I assure you won't be bored
If you let me
You fear the day you wake up by my side
Way too old
Too established to do as you please
When you please
Afraid of all the regrets you might have
Why did I
Didn't I
Can't stop wondering why
No matter how hard you try
You'll be sorry
Your glory will fade
When you look back
But I promise you
You won't be missing out on a thing
Take your time
Waste your time
Let me clear out your mind
Every second is precious to you
How you strive
Wait in line
To sign up
Hasten through life
For what
What for
For what
I say the end doesn't justify a thing
'cause right now
What about now
So what will I become
All comforts led astray
Consciousness undone
My problems moved away
Some royal sanctity
Somewhere just for me
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia
On tender ground
This cold unfurnished life
This minimalistic hell
Scraping cobwebs from my eyes
This caged animal is not doing
So well...
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia
On tender ground
Some royal sanctity
Some downy feathered bed
Somewhere just for me
My creature comforted
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia
On Tenter Ground
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
On Tenter Ground
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
On Tenter Ground
Poison racing through my veins
A sordid pull to the insane
A constant gravity to change
And I don't know where to go
Paris breaths beneath my feet
Thirsty skin against concrete
My sacred heart misleading me
And I don't know where to go
No, I don't know where to go
I could go home to my love
And live the life I've always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don't know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Couer
Paris falls under my eyes
History against one life
My sacred heart's on no-one's side
And I don't know where to go
No, I don't know where to go
I could go home to my love
And live the life I've always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
And the strange thing is
I don't know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set
I could go home to my love
And live the life I've always wanted
Or I could go on running off
Into the night, lonely and haunted
I could go home to my love
It's all there if I want it
But the sad thing is
I don't know which I prefer
As I sit here and watch the sun set on Sacre Couer
This old cracked ceiling
Is creeking at you
It seems to know the feeling
Of breaking like you do
You came here to test yourself
To take it all on
In stead you've made a mess of yourself
You've been having too much fun
And now you're fighting strangers
And shadows on the wall
And voices in your head
Saying 'Why am I here at all?'
You've ruled out your choices
Like the loyalist you are
And drowned all those noises
Strumming your guitar
Wrapped in cold comfort
A brief and short-lived kick
Another can of Export
That ought to do the trick
Cause she used to come home early
Just to be with you
And now it's getting later
And there's really nothing you can do
I came here to save you
Though I know I never could
I don't wanna change you
I just wish you understood
That you are just a puppet
In a poetess' play
And it's time to cut the strings now
It's time to walk away
Another early hour
Another painful kiss
Climb back up in your tower
Go dream of what you miss
You came here to calm yourself
To set yourself free
In stead you're alarmed as hell
Cause now you know you never will be
This is your illusion
These are your dreams
This is your life
And it's never what it seems
I came here to save you
Though I know I never could
I don't wanna change you
I just wish you understood
That you are just a puppet
In a poetess' play
And it's time to cut the strings now
Take what you want from me
Take what you can
And then hide it somewhere I can't see
Out of my hands
Do what it takes to make you feel better
Never forget that you
You're nobody's man
I love the way you set me off
With a stroke of your hand
And your puzzled look when we make love
That you don't understand
But nothing I've got will make you feel better
At the break of dawn you'll still
Be nobody's man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...
So come and lay by my side
In my castle of sand
Let's love til the early tide
Breaks down the dam
Stay if you want for worse or for better
But never forget that you
You're nobody's man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...
You... You... You... You...
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...
I wake in the morning with one thing on my mind
To get up on my feet and be on my way
The wide roads are calling and I'm running out of time
To make the most of this exciting day
Hey!
Everybody's gotta end up somewhere
I'm just taking my time to get there
And it looks like freedom and it smells like fun
But it feels like being on the run
I wake in the morning with one thing in my head
The haunting sound of chords I've yet to play
It sounds like a warning that maybe I should stay in bed
Before these winding roads lead my astray
Hey!
Everybody's gotta end up somewhere
I'm just taking my time to get there
And it looks like freedom and it smells like fun
But it feels like being on the run
Somewhere there's a place for us, a place for us
Where?
There's a place for us...
Everybody's gotta end up somewhere
I'm just taking my time to get there
And it looks like freedom and it smells like fun
One touch can fill a life of longing
Not much is so much more than nothing
Yeah - All you need is
An open smile to win you over
One single step will bring you closer
Yeah - All it takes is one
And when you're running for cover
And you feel the sky falling down upon you
And when it feels like forever
Since you've seen the face of someone who loves you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
Is all that you need
All that you need to move you on
It's all that you need
All you need is
One word to fill a room of silence
A hand to offer you some guidance
Yeah - All you need is
A moment long enough to notice
That everything's stepped into focus
Yeah - All it takes is one
And when you've running from questions
And it seems like uncertainty controls you
And when you looking for answers
In the eyes of somebody who knows you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
All that you need
All that you need to move you on
Is all that you need
All that you need to get you home
All that you need
I'm beginning to see the signs
Calling for me from in between the lines
I'm beginning to wonder how long
Before I go under?
It's a long goodbye
It's a sea too deep to dive
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
'Cause I must pull through
I am falling in love again
With the sky up above and the warm summer wind
I am watching it change every day
Our worlds rearrange
But it's a long goodbye
It's a wall too high to climb
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
'Cause I must break through
I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
Just to get to you
But it's a long goodbye
It's a guard too strong to fight
It's a long goodbye
Everyone stares
Awkwardly drawn
They watch her pretend to be as boring as she seems
I'm on my toes
I hang on her words
I ache to reveal the dark potential in her dreams
So I tear her apart
'cause I'm curious to know what's inside her belly
I tear her apart
'cause I'm curious to know
Yes I'm curious to know
What is inside
What is her secret
The storm in her eyes
Her disguise
The truth in her lies
What is her secret
It's breaking her down to the ground
The stain on her dress
The air heavy with fear
Every story her eyes can tell will lead you back to here
So you tear her apart
'cause you're curious to know what's inside her belly
You tear her apart
'cause you're curious to know
Yes you're curious to know
What is inside
What is inside
What lies behind
Give in to your confusion
Theres no good in hiding
Why youre unusual
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, it will be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
Weve got too much to lose
Its too late to be perfect
And its not like we havent tried
Its hard but its worth it
Every time we get it right
Every time you give in
And go where it takes you
Stand by the feeling
Even if it breaks you
Its always a guess which way is the best
Take what you find and make it good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
Weve got too much to lose
Its too late to be perfect
And its not like we havent tried
Its hard but its worth it
Every time we get it right
And even when youre lost inside yourself
Even when too weak to cry for help
Even when you cant put up a fight
Even when youre broken you arent quite
Maybe its the struggle that you need
Something to disturb you in your sleep
A kiss of madness on your cheek
When will you see youve got to
Give in to you confusion
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, let it be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
Weve got too much to lose
Too young to be heros
It's too late to be perfect
And its not like we havent tried
Its hard but its worth it
I could've sworn I had you wrapped around my finger
I could've sworn I had you eating of off my hand
I could've sworn I was the first, the last, the one,
the only...
I should've known that you're not easily persuaded
I should've known that you're not that easy to impress
I should've known that I'd be the one to lose my head
and heart and marbles
I'm down on my knees
Shaking, hardly breathing
I'm aching, silently heating
When you're watching me like that
Fuel to the fire
When you're touching me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when you're kissing me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when we make love like this
I burn with desire
Fuel to the fire burning...
So don't tell me you didn't mean for this to happen
You won't be here when I wake up
You've gotta tell me that you will give in and out and
up and over
That you're down on your knees
Shaking, hardly breathing
I'm aching, silently heating
When you're watching me like that
Fuel to the fire
When you're touching me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when you're kissing me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when we make love like this
I burn with desire
Fuel to the fire
Burning...
When you're watching me like that
Fuel to the fire
When you're touching me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when you're kissing me like that
Fuel to the fire
And when we make love...
Close your eyes
Shield your heart with lies
Walk away
When nobody's asking you to stay
Isn't it true?
It all comes down to you
Isn't it so?
No-one else can know
In or out
Hide your smile in doubt
Win or lose
You'll know the difference once you choose
Isn't it true?
It all comes down to you
Isn't it so?
No-one else can know
Come on
Do something!
Isn't it true?
It matters what you do
Ain't it a shame?
There's no-one else to blame
It's all in your name
Come on
Another evening on your own
You wander round your perfect home
You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year
You wonder how it came to this
Had your aim but it seems you missed
All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
Is so loud
You thought that he could save your life
If only you would be his wife
You thought the perfect wedding day would make this awful headache go away
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
Stop spilling red wine on the carpets
You know the stains won't come off anymore
Come on surprise us, no compromises this time
Ask more of life, ask more...
Oh, the silence
Oh, the silence in your house and in your head and in your heart
And in your life
Ask more of life
Ask more in life
Ask more...
Ask yourself how much you care
About dining chairs and Baudelaire
Nor craftmanship or poetry can keep a young girl happy forever
You need someone to turn you on, you need to let yourself have fun
Boys forget to eat
Boys forget to ask
Boys forget to sleep
Always drive to fast
Girls forget to love
Girls are scared to fall
Nothing's good enough
Girls just want it all
It's not supposed to be easy
We're not supposed to understand
You're not supposed to leave me
Just because it's difficult to be my
Man... / Woman....
You held the door looking over your shoulder
Face to the floor it was already over
They took a good look at you
They knew that you couldn't follow through
Just stood there and laughed at you
What could I do?
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that couldn't be
I pulled at your dress but you took no notice
You left me to guess your desperate motives
Left here as unfamiliar eyes held you and pushed me aside
Aching with blame I watched from inside
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that couldn't be
The things that might have been
The things that should have been
It's all I'd ever dream of
It's all I'd ever hope
To touch whenever I'd reach out
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting
Warm sand underneath my feet
No promises left for you to keep
Fortune smiling back at me
Forgetting the things that could have been
The things that might have been
I've been walking on egg shells
For so long, too long
It's been going down hill
Gone so wrong, too long
I've been counting the reasons
To try to tell you
Face to face with my deamons
And my fear to lose you
This was not my idea
Believe me
This is not my fantasy
Believe me, leave me, leave me
Cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me on my own
Cold and undone
Just take what you want
And leave me alone
I've been hearing these voices
Clearly they tell me
I have run out of choices
'Cause it's killing me, slowly
This was not my idea
Believe me, leave me, leave me
Cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me on my own
Cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me here so
Cold and undone
You take what you want
And I can't go on...
I can't go on...
Now I'm cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me on my own
Cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me here so
Cold and undone
You take what you want and leave me on my own
Cold and undone
Just take what you want and leave me
Why don't you leave me?
How many lies have you told today
Into the dark of your coffee cup
To cover up your footprints
How many times have I heard you say stay
Won't you let me tie you up?
With minor cords and smoke rings
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you're losing it
I hear you've found someone to take the blame
Playmate, is it true?
She's fuel on your roaring fire
I hear she's nice but messed up just the same
Sweet kamikaze, dying proof
That down is this season's higher
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you're losing
It seems you're losing
I think you're losing it
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
I take from you as you take from me
Like nervous hands reaching out for each other
Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
In your eyes
As I turn around to leave, still in your spell
I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window by your bed
What an odd surprise to bump into myself like this
I can see right through myself to the flowers on your lawn
And the empty space before me swallows everything you give
I turn back to your look to find peace in your eyes
I'm nothing without you, I'm hollow without you
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
It's in your eyes
I find in his look an insecurity childishly submissive
I say foolish things I do strange things for attention
He finds within me some kind of unfamiliar hardness
He sees both the child and the cynic
Everyhing I hold inside of me
Everything I'm hoping I can be
You're my mirror
Everything I do I see in you
You're my mirror
In your eyes I hide
You're my mirror
What you see is what you're giving me
You're my mirror
The raindrops on the roof of the car
Sound like a warning
I'm alone in the backseat
And in the clouded sky a pondering star
Waits for morning
To go back to sleep
There's a great big world out there
Of good and bad and everything in between
I've got my own small world in here
Of happy and sad and the little I have seen
Keep driving, keep driving
The silent lamppost bows down its head
Encircled by darkness
With time on its side
And when everyone I know are in bed
My light shines the sharpest
Across the divide
There's a deep blue sea out there
Of birth and death and the lovely mess in between
I've got my own short life in here
Going to God-knows-where in this fast machine
Keep driving, keep driving
Through the city, past the billboards
Selling hope to hopeless souls
To the outskirts where every locked door
Has seen things that no-one knows
Past the beaches where the wind blows
And the waves caress the shore
Through the forest where a tree grows
For two hundred years or more
The raindrops on the roof of the car
Sound like a warning
I'm alone in the backseat
And in the clouded sky a lonesome star
Waits for morning
It always had to look good
It always had to be perfect
It always had to look easy
So tell me now was it worth it?
You stand in the doorway
With a bag full of words that you can't say
Your distant eyes on the tv
Your distant eyes won't see me
But it's written across the blue skies
You're scared to stumble and realise
That underneath the cover
We're all as frail as eachother
We're all as frail as eachother
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
It doesn't have to look good
And you don't have to be perfect
It doesn't even have to be easy
No, if you're open it's worth it
Your hand in your pocket
I watch you stuggling to stop it
From getting out in the open
Your heart's desire awoken
But it's written in shallow waters
Your hand is taking its orders
From someone scared to discover
That we're all as mad as eachother
We're all as mad as eachother
Everybody knows
You're breaking and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
And everybody knows
Your body's a mirror
No words could say it clearer
Like silent poems on your forehead
That turn dishonest and sordid
And there's only one thing you can do
Let it live and let it through
It's time to open...
Everybody knows
You're falling and it shows
Nothing stays where nothing grows
There are faces, there are smiles, so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
I'm a-watching, I'm a-breathing, I'm a-pushing, I'm a wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly
I have lost it once before I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes it's just too much or not enough or something else
It's so much bigger than my head, it's too demanding
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
I have met so many people, we've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing but it's changed us
I have know a lot of men, some were lovers, some were friends
But all together were they merely passing strangers?
They'll control you with their silence, they'll control you with their words
And you'll control them with your body's coded signals
In the wild, entangled gardens of our insecurities
We lose our heads into eachother's hidden pitfalls
Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to go slow
And sometimes if you wanna hold on you got to let go
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count to ten
I'm gonna close my eyes
And when I open them again
Everything will make sense to me then
There's a moon to let
In the outskirts of Jupiter, a moon to let
There's an empty space, where the air comes by currier
A moon to let
They say it's cold out there but nothing can be colder than you
You will soon forget how the Earth lost the jury on this moon to let
Pack your bag, let's go.
Won't let any other bad people know
All them that take more than they give every day
Let them stay, when we move into space
Into space, into space, into space
There's an empty bed
And there was once was reasoning
An empty bed
There's a moon to let, and the air has no seasons
And no man has debt
They say it's cold out there, but how could it be colder than here
You will soon forget, when you learn the easy feelings on this moon to let
Pack your bag, let's go.
Won't let any other bad people know
All them that take more than they give every day
Let them stay, when we move into space
Pack your bag, let's go.
Won't let any other bad people know
All them that take more than they give every day
Let them stay, when we move into sá¹—ace
Lying back to back at 10 to 1
You're awake like me
Trying to conceive that done is done
You made a mistake, I see
But I'm a little too tired, baby
It's a little too late
To bring it up in the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
I'm not giving up but I need a little light
Oh, save it for the break of day
Save it for the break of day
Monday's paper scattered on the floor
Lost in time like me
Nothing that I haven't heard before
A skeptic mind set free
But I'm a little too tired, baby
It's a little too late
To bring it up in the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
I'm not giving up but I need a little light
Oh, save it for the break of day
A little bit worried lately
Been a little too scared to make me
Take a stand, a chance to maybe
Land this kamikaze romance safely
I'm just a little too tired, baby
It's a little too late
To bring it up in the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
I'm not giving up but I need a little light
Oh, save it for the break of day
Don't bring it up in the weary dark of night
Between black and white
Is a thousand shades of gray
No, I'm not giving up but I need a little light
Oh, save it for the break of day
Save it for the break of day
Save it for the break of day
Lonely lonely night I've had
If you ever pass by where I used to live
And should you bump in to the man I was with
Back when I didn't know what to believe
Please, will you tell him from me
That I loved him with every beat of my heart
I'd tremble with longing when we were apart
Oh, I'd ache to pull him in close
I don't think he knows
The last thing I heard he was losing his job
I guess they'd found out that he rarely turned up
He hated it there only stayed for me
Please, will you make him believe
That I always thought you should follow your dreams
However hard and uncertain it seems
I'd have loved him whatever he chose
I don't think he knows
I lives grew apart, it's been just over a year
For reasons I can't really tell you about here
Love wasn't nearly enough in the end
Please, will you tell him again
That I hurt myself more than I ever hurt him
I wasn't as distant and cold as I seemed
I was lost all the way into my bones
I don't think he knows
When the dust had settled he moved on as well
He found a new girl that he loved, I could tell
And my mind started wandering jealously
Please, will you ask him from me
If really he thought that I was the one
Or were we just sharing some time on the run
Did he love me with peace and with hope
A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
Now, you remember what the draftsman said:
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now...
You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you've left for good
You're in the army now...
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no-one gives a damn
You're in the army now...
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you wanna survive get out of bed
You're in the army now...
You've got your orders, better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the army now...
Shots ring out in the dead of night
Sgt. calls: "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the army now...
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
Black
Screen
Cold
Clean
Taste in your mouth
Scene by scene
Sit back and watch your term run out
Why don't you come?
Unsensed
Quick
Deep as you can
Simple plot
It isn't hard to understand
You're just a story
Too late to be sorry
Too late to untell what you're wishing you could change
I know you're haunted
By all that you wanted
By all that you didn't recognize
When it was yours
Stone face
Heart race
Nailed to the seat
Page by page
Blood driven tale for you to read
Why don't you stay?
Eyes
Time
Lines
Words
Lost in the most silent rhymes
Spun by a man that lost his voice
You're just a story
Too late to be sorry
Too late to untell what you're wishing you could change
I know you're haunted
By all that you wanted
By all that you didn't recognize
When it was yours
It's all that you've got
It's all that you're not
You're a different story
Too good to be sorry
Too good to untell what you're wishing you could change
I know you're haunted
By all that you wanted
By all that you didn't ever recognize
I know you're haunted
By all that you wanted
All that you didn't recognize
So what will I become
All comforts led astray
Consciousness undone
My problems moved away
Some royal sanctity
Somewhere just for me
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia on tender ground
This cold unfurnished life
This minimalistic hell
Scraping cobwebs from my eyes
This caged animal is not doing
So well...
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia on tender ground
Some royal sanctity
Some downy feathered bed
Somewhere just for me
My creature comforted
This is no-man's land
That's what I've found
Insomnia on Tenter Ground
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
Who's gonna sing a song of change
If no one can imagine life outside the beaten track?
And who's gonna stop the running train
If no one cares to dwell and no one wants to look back?
Somewhere along the line you gave up asking
When it got a little too complex
But if you don't question what has been
Does it mean that you don't care what's coming next?
You've got no one to follow
And no one will follow you
Ain't that a relief
That everything and everyone must grow in opposition
To resistance and contradiction,
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
So who's gonna sing a song of faith
If no one prays for anything that can't be bought or sold?
And who's gonna tell the story straight
Does anyone believe there's still a story to be told?
Somewhere along the line you just stopped walking
When the undercurrent got too strong
Someday a lonely busker will come knocking
With a soft and long forgotten song
That you've got no one to follow
And no one will follow you
Ain't that a relief
That everything and everyone must grow in opposition
To resistance and contradiction,
This ain't no time to go to sleep
Boy, all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Yo, I remember when we met the whole scene was set
Backstage rockin' black shades
Told you not to be afraid
We touched and when your smile turned to a blush
[Incomprehensible]I had to get to know your name
Then I got your number
17 and under, maybe just a little younger
Had to get to know you, 'cause there's things I wanna show you
Forget them other brothers they know lines that they told you
Now your acting all shy, hmm I wonder why
Everytime I looked at you, you turned and drop your eye
We faced, began to lace you up with lines
Fragrance by Ann Klein had me losing my mind
With your zodiac sign, my perfect match, in fact
I'm compatible with anything from Mio to Ash
Now it's all about us we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do is, think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
I can't get you out of my mind
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hooked after just one look
Yeah see you at the mall with your mom looking all flashy
Poppin' out of a taxi, met eues when you passed me
Been inside of my head all day, what can I say?
All I can do is reminicse like Mary J
I want to get with you
So come and get with me
We'll be K-I-S-S-I-N-G and all that good stuff
Calling you bluff, now look at us
Just met and already talkin' 'bout trust
All the things we did, how we planned to live
How you got rid me of that kid, who use to call you crib
Shut it down
Now look what you found a state of dawn
You da bomb, plus you got props from my mom
Now it's all about us we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
I can't get you out of my mind
Think about you all of the time
Wanna get to know you baby, oh
I'm glad I made my move
I'm glad I stepped to you
Enough respect that my whole crew accepted you
Even my ex called you 'cause she wasn't insecure
Feeling got a little hurt but was being mature
Gave her blessings that she learned some valuable lessons
Now she use me as her reference
She's my best friend
Don't even stress, 'cause all I see is you and me
Like Latifah you're Queen, let's bring some unity
Ain't no reason to fight, you know we're keeping it tight
Whether walking or holding hands or sharing seats on the bike
Always on my mind with your Gucci design
Feel free to drop a line, yeah that would suit me fine
It's all about you boo, and all the things you do
Making dreams come true, buying rings for two
Now it's just be you we're hooked like drugs
I'm on my way to being a thug, show me love
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I'll never turn and walk away
Boy all I see, is you and me
And all I do, is think of you
Give me the chance to know your name
I wouldn't put my bets on me if I were you
I bet you'd find I'm not as balanced as I seem
I need to redecorate at least a hundred thousand times a day
Can't let anything take root
And loving me you'd always be a slave to this confusion
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
Some day you'll ask me what's the source of this despair
I might as well just turn my back on you and leave
'Cause it's the same damn thing every time I try to fill somebody in
Too many words is silence
And loving me you'd always be a slave to this frustration
And I would be the unknown quantity in your equation
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
I'd love to love you tomorrow too
But I'm unable to promise to be there for you
Reflecting's got me freaking
And you can't speed up the solving
I only hope
I hope to love you tomorrow too
Now you should heed these words if you care about yourself
And try to reason do you dare play this wicked game
If you get too involved then you know you've got an awful lot to lose
In the end you'll be alone
'Cause loving me you'll always be a slave to this frustration
And I will be the unknown quantity in you equation
So if I'm on the way to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Send my best to your heart
If I'm on the way to your heart
Heaven help you
I'd love to love you tomorrow too
But I'm unable to promise to be there for you
Reflecting's got me freaking
And you can't speed up the solving
I only hope
Dont misunderstand me now but when people saw a match
in you and
I - I always wondered why
I always thought we were the strangest combination heat
cold - obedience versus defy
But I kinda figured Id take one day at a time - may as
well
try - before we said goodbye
But now I realise youve sneaked up on my heart and left
loving you this time I cant deny
I have never needed you like this before
Now I dont waste my energy on doubts no more
All of a sudden it seems obvious that this was meant to
be - they saw through you and me
They saw that underneath that arrogance of yours Id
find a fragile heart as loving as can be
I know I let you down a hundred times before Id
sometimes flee - Im sorry thats just me
But youve convinced me with the strenght of this pure
love
now its my turn to set in to make you see
I have never needed you like this before
Now I dont waste my energy on doubts no more
Did I push you away with my doubts
when I left you lonely then - not knowing when wed meet
again
Did I hesitate for too long
has your love given up on me - ready now to let it be
I know I let you down a hundred times before - Id
sometimes flee - so sorry thats just me
But youve convinced me with the strenght of this pure
love and now
its my turn - its my turn to make you see
I have never needed you like this before
Now I dont waste my energy on doubts no more
Now I have never needed you like this before
and what it is youre given me I just want more
The streets are dark, the night is cold
Shadows dance in every window
The wind is biting through my coat
As evening fades I'm waiting to rise
We met this August afternoon
His insight threw me like a typhoon
And I was frail, I think he knew
Whispered words of great escapes
Now[s the time to break awayHe said... Meet me at the head shopForget yourself and leave it all behindWait at the bus stop tonightMeet me at the head shopAnd let me free and open up your mindYou and I will take off tonightThe city wakes the sirens callTo remind me why I don't rememberI]m kicking trash against the wall
Evening fades, still waiting to rise
No-one escapes undisguised
He said...
Meet me at the head shop
Forget yourself and leave it all behind
Wait at the bus stop tonight
(And I'm still waiting)
Meet me at the head shop
And let me free and open up your mind
You and I will take off tonight
To let the colours run
To bite the loaded gun
To let the tables turn
To let the moment crash and burn
To take a solid stand
However hard you land
To wait another day
To leave yourself and run away
He said...
Meet me at the head shop
Forget yourself and leave it all behind
Wait at the bus stop tonight
I need a room with a view
An armchair by the window
a cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Watch the sky turn from hazy gray to black
Watch my neighbours go to work
and look exhausted and burned out when they get back
Thinking about you
Thank God for this beautiful view
I recall you took me swimming
the sea was dark and cold
You'd been there many times before
with many different girls, I'd been told
But what's a man without a past
We love him for his lies
and then we try to break him down to make it last
'til they come true
Thank God for this beautiful view
Beautiful view
You, you, you...
I still love you
The dark is falling and the city fills with lights
Cars like shining pearls on strings
moving through the emptiness of night
The wine is running to my head
I'm spellbound by the moment
can't get up, can't find the strength to go to bed
Without you
Thank God for this beautiful view
Beautiful view
You, you, you...
I still love you
I've been blind too blind to tell false from true
I've been so busy running
never stopped to think where I was running to
But I've learned my lesson from the tears I've had to cry Sometimes it helps to take your time
to sit alone and watch the world go by
Cause every day it's new
Thank God for this beautiful view
Every day it's new
Thank God for this beautiful view
I met a friend of a friend out in town
She grabbed my arm and said ”Girl, have you heard!”
Told me you've fallen back in, down and out
She'd seen you high on your knees in the dirt
”I don't know what he is running from,” she said
”He's so good-looking, it must be just boredom
It was awkward to meet him, I didn't know what to say
Well, it's none of our business anyway”
She said ”It's none of our business anyway”
Well, if you ask me what I'm gonna do
If I ever see this shadow of you
I'll tell you to stop
I'll tell you to sort yourself out
And I want you to know if you ever come around
And if you ever wanna go somewhere else than down
I'll help you to stop
I'll help you to sort yourself out
I'll make it my business
I caught a girl on the phone at the top of her lungs
God knows how many tequilas she'd had
”I don't think I can go home, he hates me when I'm drunk
He says some terrible things when he's mad”
”I don't know what I am waiting for,” she said
”His anger goes and it comes like a cold sore
I've been trying to save him, that's what he hates me for
Well, it's none of your business anyway”
She said ”It's not your problem anyway”
Well, if you ask me what I'm gonna say
If I ever see him stand in your way
I'll tell him to stop
I'll tell him to sort himself out
And I want you to know if you wanna come around
And if you need somewhere to go that doesn't hold you down
I'll help it to stop
I'll help you to sort yourself out
I'll make it my business
Do you remember the first time you said ”This once – and never again!”
You've said it over and over and over again since then
Tell me, what's happened since then?
Well, if you ask me what I'm gonna do
If I ever see this shadow of you
I'll tell you to stop
I'll tell you to sort yourself out
And I want you to know if you ever come around
And if you ever wanna go somewhere else than down
I'll help you to stop
I'll help you to breath
I'll help you to rest
I'll help you to see
I'll help you to know
I'll help you to sort yourself out
There's nothing like doubt tearing your mind
To leave you muddled up and blind
There's nothing like fear riding your soul
To leave you stone cold
There's nothing like rain falling in the night
From a vast hidden height
Falling like tears from the dark sky's lonely eye
There's nothing like heat biting your skin
To let you boil from within
There's nothing like sweat dripping down your sides
Gleaming nights
There's nothing like flames licking in the air
Hungry, without a care
Licking like tongues, here and there
And everywhere
Let's get lost
Let these frozen hearts defrost
Whatever the cost, let's get lost
Let's get lost
Roll the dice and play our cards
Whatever the cost
Let's get lost
There's nothing like hopes taken to the test
To the edge of more or less
There's nothing like truth cutting to the bone
To leave you overthrown
There's nothing like hearts breaking in two
As only trusting hearts can do
Breaking like glass, frail and new
What else can we do
Let's get lost
Let these frozen hearts defrost
Whatever the cost, let's get lost
Let's get lost
Roll the dice and play our cards
Whatever the cost
Let's get lost
In too deep
Already we're in too deep
It's cold when it's october here
so i guess i won't see you at my birthday this year
and who'd have thought a love like that
would wither and wash out as winter pulls near
i'm not gonna cry about it no
i'm just gonna lie about it
your laughter filling my sails
As in fall the golden leaf must give in to the winds
this here tale of love is somehow meant to end where it begins
back where we started
back where we started
and why don't we just leave it
not broken hearted
just back where we started
and why don't we just leave it at that
The summer asked no questions and the wind found no excuse to abridge our story
over
and nature is a faithless friend and counting on her favours will make you sorry
i'm not gonna cry about you
it's not like i'll die without you
your laughter filling my sails
back where we started
back where we started
and why don't we just leave it
not broken hearted
just back where we started
I have looked at it from every scientific point of view
Been through all the possibilities
And looked at every stat and every clue
I have put myself through an extensive lie detector test
And the outline from the needle point have proven
What my heart had already guessed:
That I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with a beautiful man
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love and it's almost more than I can stand
So I guess I better tell him...
It doesn't matter where you've been how far
It doesn't matter how run down you are
Or if there's nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I've told you every selfish lie I know
I've taken falls from dizzy heights - I've let go
But there is a simple truth to find below
Where it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I'm on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I'm in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do
I'm in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
I'm on a rescue
Love is a thousand shades of grey and we know
There's not a safe or certain way to go
But when we've seen all, uneasiness and hate, it will show
That it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I'm on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I'm in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do
I'm in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do I'm in the red for you
Tonight
Forever - I could search for words and nothing I would find
Forever - I could seek your truth and nothing you'd reveal
So now I must leave while I can - while I'm still in one piece - either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant - maybe It's not much - maybe
Forever - I could await your call - and nothing I would hear
And never - would I find peace - no no no - with you - you
So now I must leave while I can - while I'm still in one piece - either way I will be lonely
And maybe you'll see what I meant - maybe It's not much - maybe
Maybe you'll see that you needn't be frightened
You can do better - you know better
Should I find courage to keep on pushing you
Maybe you'd open - well who am I fooling
So long hearts
Off to school
Paper and pen
Play your parts
Don't make fools of us again
Glow young hearts
If you dare be free
Leave your marks
Everywhere
Show us...
So long hearts
Off you go again
Brand new starts
Don't come home untill you're ment
Warm strong hearts
Here's your chance
Where are you now, my friend?
Pulling your bike past their windows again?
You know they won't let you in
You don't change the city
The city changes you
Where are you now, my love?
Still in the war with the Aphrodite Mob?
What was I thinking of?
You don't change the city
The city...
You close your eyes
Fall into the rythm
Under the lights
You don't see the shadows
Your shadow watches you
Where does it go, my love?
A mere song that echos from the rooftops above
You've given all but please don't give up
You don't touch the magic
The magic touches you
Under the lights
We fall into the rythm
We close our eyes
We don't watch the city
It was a mild and lively evening at the end of May
I had run out for one quick coffee at the corner cafe
I must have looked a little tense and over-worked, I guess
'Cause this old man leaned in and said:
"My darling, what's the stress?
Come sit, come have a moment's rest
Your work is nothing worth unless
Your mind is calm and clear and at its best"
And he went on:
"To everyone who's running faster every day," he said
"To everyone who's not found peace and indepence yet and
To everyone who thinks that life is where they're headed to
Who thinks a better day awaits as soon as they get through
These busy years of things to do
This wall of greedy cynics who
Persuade them to give up their dreams too soon
Take your time
It's a quarter to forever now
Take your time
It's a quarter to forever now
To everyone who thinks that love was just a dream they had
Who thinks tomorrow and the future has nothing new to add and
To everyone who's watched their hopes run out and slam the door
And everyone who still don't know what they are looking for or
Found it and dropped it on the floor
Whose hands and arms have gotten sore
From holding on too tight to what once was
Take your time
It's a quarter to forever now
Take your time
Hear me out I have to tell you something - Your endless
hesitation
wears me out - I know thats just who you are - youre
quiet - but all that I want
- all that I need - is a little bit of honesty when it
comes to the matter of your
- inner wishes and wants - why is that such a problem
for you
Hear me out I really have to tell you - your calm
preoccupation wears me out - wow
With all that you do and all that you say - its a
little bit too bizarre -
youre not giving me - one good reason to hold on
Wont you hear me - its hard enough as it is - oh baby
youre so very driving me crazy
now wont you hear me - its hard enough as it is - oh
baby - make me worry
We have to try both you and I cause we are different
I let it show you have to know that I am different
It is up to you - give me a clue how are you different
- Just reach out to me - just let me see
Help me out I really need to know you - your casual
concealments
- freak me out - what - you think I cant tell
With all that Ive heard - all that they say itd be a
little bit strange
for you to say no - I reckon thats still a problem for
Ask me out - you could help me on my way - some sense
of empathy is one of those
fundamental things that everyone should know
yet every time and everywhere we go it feels as if Im
always two steps behind
- now wont you hear me - its hard enough as it is - oh
baby - youre so very
We have to try both you and I cause we are different
I let it show you have to know that I am different
It is up to you - give me a clue how are you different
- Just reach out to me - just let me see
We have to try both you and I cause we are different
I let it show you have to know that I am different
It is up to you - give me a clue how are you different
- Just reach out to me
If I'd had what you have
Had been bad like you have
Heaven help me
If I'd lied like you lie
Had the guts to deny
Heaven help me
If I'd lost my head
Like you keep losing your head
Heaven help me
If I'd done what you've done
Pushed erase and moved on
Heaven help me out
If I'd done what you've done
You would turn away
If I'd sinned like you've sinned
You would choke with dismay
And you would wash your hands in the distain that feeds on your guilt
You would not find that silence leaves you blind
I don't bite like you bite
Heaven see me
I try hard to be real
I don't hide what I feel
Heaven see me
Whereas you...
I can't tell when you fake
I don't show when you break
Heaven see me
I don't run from what I do
'cause I can't run as fast as you
Heaven see me through
If I'd done what you've done
You would turn away
If I'd sinned like you've sinned
You would choke with dismay
And you would wash your hands in the distain that feeds on your guilt
You would not see me
You don't have to tell
There's no need for us to dweel
I know that it makes no difference at all
The problem that we face is that you cannot embrace
That it goes both ways
If I'd done what you've done
You would turn away
If I'd sinned like you've sinned
You would choke with dismay
If I'd run like you
If I'd lied like you
You'd wash your hands
Silence is a choice it doesn't buy you riskfree neutrality
Doesn't buy you off
Such confidence
To think that you can make me happy
Such courage
To dare to even try
Such rare determination
To always do your best to hide
The despair in your eyes
It's too much
My love is suffocating in your clutch
Because it's too much
It's too much
The lips that used to tremble at your touch
Have had too much
Such ignorance
To think that I could run from my doubts
I'm so stupid
To think I'm in control
Such childish impatience
To tell myself I'm ready
When I know that I'm not
It's too much
My love is suffocating in your clutch
Because it's too much
It's too much
The lips that used to tremble at your touch
Have had too much
It's a fine line
Between your heart and mine
All these empty words we hide behind
It's a fine line
Between almost and enough
We cross the line to see what we're made of
It's too much
My love is suffocating in your clutch
Because it's too much
It's too much
The lips that used to tremble at your touch
When my patience has stormed out the door
When my confidence is up against the wall
When my nails're all bitten down and not one second before
That's when you call
That's when you call
When my head hurts all the way into every strain of my hair
When your absence hangs like a threat in the air
When it seems so clear that you really do not care
Suddenly you call
Suddenly you call
What are my weapons?
I can't compete?
When all I get points for
Is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes
But you never notice
This war in my mind
Love is cruel to the sensitive kind
When the moment has gone tired and cold
When the silence is out of control
When I've said the stupidest things to try and fill this bottomless hole
Finally you speak
Finally you speak
What are my weapons?
I can't compete?
When all I get points for
Is to smile and be sweet
My iron gate closes
But you don't even notice
There's a war in my mind
So you've messed it up
Don't know when to stop
Said more than enough
I've touched you where it hurts
And I know I'm not the first
But please don't make it worse
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Use me
Look me in the eye
I'd love to see you smile
And I know how hard you try
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
In the morning
You'll see a different side
In the morning
A softer light
In the morning
It will all look right
And you won't have to hide
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
You sit by the window watching the wind blow his childish
affection in every direction
He screams when you whisper - laughs when you cry but
this
voice inside you keeps you from asking him why
Watch your tongue now girl - watch your tongue now girl -
watch your tongue now girl
I bet youd look real pretty if youd lay off the self-
pitty - Watch your tongue now girl - oh uh...
I like to disturb you - I like to dig into your
meaningless phrases - your various faces
I love to talk dirty - I love to make fun but its hard
when Im staring into the barrel of your gun
I wanna see- I wanna see how far I can make it - shine as
I come to heel
I wanna be - I wanna be someone - I wont fake it - dont
you tell me
Watch your tongue now girl - watch your tongue now girl -
watch your tongue now girl
I bet youd look real pretty if youd stop trying to be
witty
Watch your tongue now girl - and let the boys...
I cant keep quiet - I cant keep quiet - I cannot - I
cannot
Watch your tongue now girl - watch your tongue now girl -
Come and take my hand
It's been so long
Since tender words last fell
From our hard tongues
Tell me, tell me now
Where we go wrong
Tell me there's a way if we press on
And keep our arms open wide
Don't say no to anyone
But keep our hearts safe inside
Don't let go to anyone
And raise above the chaos of love
Come and hold my hand
You look confused
You give your best
And end up feeling used
Tell me why you struggle like you do
To draw the line between the world and you
Just keep your arms open wide
Don't say no to anyone
But keep your heart safe inside
Don't let go to anyone
And keep your heart safe from harm
Safe and warm in your hand
And raise above the trials of love
Come and hold my hand
It's been so long
Since tender words last fell
From our hard tongues
We'll keep our arms open wide
Don't say no to anyone
But keep our hearts safe inside
Don't let go to anyone
Yeah, keep our arms open wide
Don't say no to anyone
But keep our blood safe inside
Not on show for anyone
And raise above the chaos of love
